He acted as a cartoonist in Hum Tum, whose laid back attitude results in him being too late to realise the love of his life. Produced under Yash Raj Fims banner, director Kunal Kohli's picturisation of Saif as 'Karan' in the movie won him accolades.
Dil Chahta Hai
The national award winning movie starring Saif Ali Khan, Aamir Khan and Akshaye Khanna gave a fresh and relatable subject to movie buffs. Dil Chahta Hai brought Saif into the much-deserved limelight. The film shows the transition in three youngsters' lives, who are close friends. Though the movie couldn't win over the box office, it is one of the most critically acclaimed movies, in which the star acted really well.
Parineeta
Media reports suggest that the film's producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra reluctantly signed Saif for the role. Although, 'Shekhar Rai', Saif's character in Parineeta garnered the actor critical acclaim once again and even got him nominated for Best Actor for a number of awards. Saif featured against Vidya Balan, which was Vidya's break-though in the Bollywood industry.
Cocktail
Directed by Homi Adjania, Cocktail is Saif Ali Khan's another movie which was a blockbuster. Cosmopolitan in nature, the film wonderfully depicted the nuances of friendship and love, tracing the life of Gautam, a role which Saif aced!
